The BSA Essential 3-9x40 series of scopes is one of the most versatile on the market.
This scope embodies the best features of the BSA English house.
Enhacing the target image by maximizing light transmission for a brighter, clearer sight picture.
Light and practical, it sports a 3-9x magnification on a 40mm lens diameter, finger adjustable turrets and it uses on of the best reticles in the market: Mil-Dot.
Designed not to dazzle with special features, but to be used and appreciated by any shooter and hunter.
When considering the ideal hunting specification for an airgun scope, many shooters favor the 3-9x40 configuration.
This popular specification is well-represented by the BSA Essential EMD 3-9x40 MD , a model that stands out for its versatility and affordability.
It is essential in all its features, crafted with top-tier techniques and materials.
Nicely Balanced
Measuring about 30 cm's in length and weighing under half kilo, this scope is both compact and versatile. Its matte black finish and distinctive power adjuster collar give it a sleek, purposeful look. The 'MD' in its name refers to the Mil-Dot Reticle, a feature that is thoroughly explained in the included instruction leaflet. This guide covers all the basics, from focusing and mounting to zeroing and maintenance, making it accessible for newcomers to the sport.
Fine Definition
Achieving fine definition of both the target and reticle is easy with the fast focus diopter at the rear. Despite the absence of a rubber protection ring on the eyepiece, the eye relief of around 3 inches should suffice for experienced shooters. However, novices should be cautious to avoid placing their eye too close to the scope. The eyepiece offers controlled resistance, ensuring it stays in adjustment, reflecting the overall quality and reliability of this budget-friendly optic.
Fast Focus Eyepiece
Ensures precise optical focus of both the reticle and target.
New Finger-Adjustable Turrets
High-precision turret drums with 1/4" MOA click adjustments provide improved control, even when wearing gloves.
Fully Multi-Coated Lenses
Enhance the target image by maximizing light transmission for a brighter, clearer sight picture.
BSA’s Essential scopes set new benchmarks for quality and reliability, making them a crucial component for any serious air rifle shooter.
Since their introduction in 2006, these scopes have helped shooters win numerous competitive events and have become the top choice for hunters and professional pest controllers worldwide.
These scopes are packed with advanced features, starting with a one-piece high-grade aluminum body.
They include a fast-focus eyepiece, finger-adjustable turrets, fully multi-coated lenses, and a variety of reticles.
Notably, the BSA mil-dot reticle, praised by 'Air Gunner' magazine as 'probably the best mil-dot reticle available,' is designed with concentrated dots in the center of the pattern, unlike many inferior scopes.
